Ba Ha is the head trainer at the Rockville Dahn Yoga Center
Recently I read an article about two women in Kingswood, Texas who were Dahn Yoga members for 5 years when they suddenly faced the closing of their local center due to tough economic times. When faced with the possibility, they realized how deeply they had grown to appreciate and love the practice. With nothing but faith in themselves and chunjikiun (universal energy), they took a huge plunge and decided to turn the center
Kim Root, owner of 2 Dahn Yoga Franchise Studios
into a franchise and run it as co-owners. You can read more about it at http://www.dahnyoga.com/what_is_new.
We have several equally inspiring stories of our own here in the Greater DC Metro Area. Meet Kim Root, Ba Ha, and Cindy Forry. Kim is the owner of TWO Dahn Yoga franchises, one in Beltsville, MD, and the other in Falls Church, VA. She became one of the first franchisee owners in the US when she bought the Beltsville Center over four years ago. The Beltsville Center is the oldest Dahn Yoga Studio in the DC Metro Area. She enjoyed the experience so much that she jumped at the chance to own a second studio when Falls Church opened up for purchase. She is inspired by the stories of how Dahn Yoga spread in Korea, and dreams of multiplying this number even more.
Cindy Forry
Ba Ha and Cindy run the Rockville, MD center. Ba Ha started teaching Dahn Yoga from her house. She comes from a long line of energy healers and doctors from her ethnic Chinese family, and has degrees in biology and medical technology. She is combining her instrinsic healing abilities with new-found business acumen to run the Rockville Center. Cindy was inspired to help others find their own keys to health after a career in the health insurance industry, and is working as an assistant to Ba. She is also a certified Dahn Yoga franchisee owner.
These women took a challenge and turned it into a (successful!) healing opportunity not only for themselves, but for their whole communities. You can read more about them, and the centers they run, at their center’s websites.

Hello everyone,
I’m April and i just opened a yoga studio in LA. Getting opened was a challenge, and keeping track of business was even more of a challenge. I was looking online for a good reliable, user friendly software that would help me with all needs(I’m not very computer savvy). First I looked at a lot of the online softwares, because I’m sometimes away from the studio and need to keep track of the place. A lot of them were expensive of and felt like the people on the other end were machines. Then I found a hosted software called Dharmatribe. They not only let me keep track of things while I’m away, but also the staff of Dharmatribe are super helpful. They are there if I have any questions and helped me run a more efficient business. I was able to get started immediately with only $59/month. There wasn’t even a set up fee! Dharmatribe also makes it so easy for me to keep an updated web schedule that is automatically updated from any changes made on the software and students can sign up for workshops and classes online too. If you are a yoga studio owner like me that can use all the help we can get, you should check out Dharmatribe.
